Hello, my name is Andrea

Hi, my name is Andrea and I'm from Michigan.

I have a dog named Finnigan (13 yo German Shepherd mixed with Norwegian Elkhound) and a cat named Casey (10 yo black American shorthair). I stumbled on this forum because I was trying to find others with similar experiences with their cats in terms of them seeing spirits. My cat often stares at things as if watching things move around the room that aren't there. I recently lost my grandmother (buried her on Monday) and my cat tonight was looking around the room again. I have lost other important people in my life and wonder if he can see them. When he is "staring" at whatever he is staring at, I can't seem to get his attention for anything! Eventually, he snaps out of it and goes along his way, but during those times, it is so freaky....

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and jump in the forums....have a nice evening!

Animals can see the "other" worlds, and cats in particular have no difficulty seeing and communicating with them. I have 8 cats, 2dogs, and 2 foster dogs. Looking forward to learning more about you and your pets!

Hi everyone, so sorry for not responding until now....two weeks after my grandma died, my mom died. It has been such a difficult time. We knew my mom was sick, but we weren't expecting her to die so suddenly (she had colon cancer and they gave her 1-3 weeks to live -- she didn't last a week). I feel like she is with me and again, Casey still looks around the room like someone is there.

k9krazee, I live just south of Detroit which is about 1.5-2 hours from Lansing if I am not mistaken. I have only been to Lansing once in my life so that numer is probably off.

I'm going to post a picture or two and scan some better ones in later when hubby gets home. He has to set it up for me....

Andrea, I am so sorry about your Grandma and you mother. What a sad two weeks for you! I hope things get better. Your animals are just precious! I adore Finnigan. Casey isn't too bad either. Love his eyes. Please stick around and share more pictures of your furkids. We really enjoy them.

"I always felt that when someone introduces you to the outdoors, you come to feel like you owe them something. ‘Cause what they really gave you is a lifetime of memories, and a lifestyle you’ll always love. Of course I suppose the best way to pay them back is to be that person for someone else. "
